Springhill White 8.5 x 11 Cardstock Paper 90lb 2,000 Sheets - Smooth

In this review of Springhill White 8.5 x 11 Cardstock Paper 90lb, the bottom line is simple: this pack is a practical choice for hobbyists, home offices, classrooms and small businesses that need a smooth, bright white cardstock for greeting cards, flyers and scrapbooking. The single biggest reason to buy is consistency - the 92 bright-white shade and smooth finish produce crisp prints with minimal show-through, making it especially useful for dual-sided projects and color or black-and-white output in compatible printers.

Key Features

• Lightweight 90lb index: Provides enough stiffness for cards and covers while remaining manageable for die-cutting and folding.
• Smooth finish: Produces crisp, vibrant prints with minimal texture interfering with ink or toner.
• Quick ink-drying: Reduces smudging and supports bleed-free, double-sided printing in copiers, inkjet and laser printers that accept this weight.
• Acid-free construction: Helps prevent yellowing over time so printed projects maintain a clean appearance.
• Sustainably sourced: Made in the USA and SFI certified, supporting forest replanting and sustainable forestry jobs.
• Large quantity pack: Eight reams (2,000 sheets) reduce the need for frequent reordering and provide consistent stock for repeated projects.

Who It's For

This cardstock is aimed at makers and small-scale print users who need reliable, bright white paper for greeting cards, report covers, brochures, flyers and scrapbooking. Teachers, crafters and businesses running in-house mailings will appreciate the consistent color and suitability for die-cutting and folding.

Those who require heavyweight cover stock for professional booklets or heavyweight packaging should look elsewhere, and buyers should confirm their home or office printer accepts 90lb cover weight before ordering to avoid feed issues.
